As the Mid-Autumn Festival approaches, various mooncakes are becoming increasingly popular. Nutritionists remind pregnant women and parturient women not to eat more mooncakes to avoid damaging yin and consuming body fluids, which may affect pregnancy. Experts also remind that light fruits such as grapefruit, peaches, persimmons, and pears can be eaten with hot moon cakes.
Huang Hongzhong, a member of the Guangdong Provincial Medicinal Diet Committee, pointed out that from the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine nutrition, mooncakes are mostly heavy oil and heavy sugar products. The production process often involves frying, baking and other steps, which are easy to cause internal heat or gastrointestinal stagnation, so they are oily. More mooncakes are not always better.
According to reports, due to the special physiological conditions of pregnancy or lactation, there are dietary taboos during pregnancy and postpartum. During pregnancy, you should avoid eating spicy, warm, and dry foods to avoid damaging the yin and consuming body fluids, which will affect pregnancy. You should also avoid eating fishy, greasy, and difficult-to-digest foods during pregnancy. Huang Hongzhong reminded that for mothers, postpartum blood loss often damages the yin, causes internal stasis of blood, and blood stasis due to deficiency and excess. To feed the baby with milk, the diet should be balanced and nutritious and easy to digest, so pay more attention when eating moon cakes.
Huang Hongzhong also reminded that patients with different physiques have different taboos when eating mooncakes: those with weak colds should avoid mooncakes with raw and cold fillings; patients should avoid mooncakes containing salty fillings; people with diabetes (diabetes) should avoid eating mooncakes with sugar fillings; The reporter further learned that the health-preserving mooncakes launched by Shiliangfang at the right time were well received by the market.
